I’ve always had a penchant for rural life. When I stumbled across this post on Facebook, I smiled and thought to share. Good, wise advice any day!

1.Whenever you return a borrowed pie pan, make sure it’s got a warm pie in it.2.Invite lots of folks to supper. You can always add more water to the soup.3.There’s no such thing as woman’s work on a farm. There’s just work.4.Make home a happy place for the children. Everybody returns to their happy place.5.Always keep a small light on in the kitchen window at night.6.If your man gets his truck stuck in the field, don’t go in after him. Throw him a rope and pull him out with the tractor.7.Keep the kerosene lamp away from the milk cow’s leg.8.It’s a whole lot easier to get breakfast from a chicken than a pig.9.Always pat the chickens when you take their eggs.10.It’s easy to clean an empty house, but hard to live in one.11.All children spill milk. Learn to smile and wipe it up.12.Homemade’s always better’n store bought.13.A tongue’s like a knife.
